Abstract

Paper presented at the 28th Annual Southern African Transport Conference 6 - 9 July 2009 "Sustainable Transport", CSIR International Convention Centre, Pretoria, South Africa.
A pod is a small, light, fuel efficient individual person mover. It is contended that pods will replace private motor vehicles and public transport in residential, retail and office dominated suburbs. Mass transport will transport people and pods along mobility corridors while freight transport will be similarly restricted to corridors and industrial areas.
